Cain’s even worse. 9-9-9 will be DOA—before it ever reaches Congress. The general electorate will resoundingly reject it. He’s wedded himself to it, it’s what his campaign is all about, and it’s a stone cold loser.

IMHO that would only strengthen Cain's hand because he would then start cutting and would actually have the guts to follow through on it. think about how many times GOP pols have promised to abolish turkeys like NPR and the Dept. of Education, only to end up increasing their funding.

I also believe the 9-9-9 plan would be tied to a repeal of the 16th amendment just like the Fair Tax. And with all of the others poking fun at his plan I didn't hear anyone coming up with an alternative.
